The
parakeets are a widespread group of small old World parrots. Best Known is the
Grass Parakeet or Budgerigar which is popular as a cage bird in so many homes.
Budgerigars come from Australia. Large, chattering flocks feed among the grasses
of the wide, inland plains. They eat the seeds of a variety of grasses, the
fresh shoots of plants and any small insects they may discover while foraging.
If you keep a budgie, do not be surprised if its snaps at a fly or other insects,
for it is merely supplementing its diet like its wild relatives. Wild
budgerigars are predominantly grass green in color with yellow head and blue
tails. They make a spectacular sight as they flock each morning and evening to
drink at a waterhole.
